I've been told that with a HD, once committed to a turn, it's hard to modify the turn to go tighter or wider. I haven't ridden a HD (I'm pure) and I puzzled why that could be so. This explains it.
But I wonder why, with modern technology, HD can't build a better balanced engine? Every other manufacturer has no problem.
They do and have for quite a few years now, Richard. Some of their Big Twin models have had balance shafts inside their engines since around 2005, as had their V-Rod model and their new line of water-cooled smaller V-Twins just hitting the market now.
Yes they do have what amounts to two balance cams driven by the crank, they work about as well as our VA hospital system. and here is some I formation on it. The balancers not the hospitals

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.
